# Release Notes - Version 2.4.4
**Release Date:** October 29, 2025
## π§ Hotfix: Docker Build Fix
This hotfix resolves the Docker build failures that were blocking releases since v2.4.3.
### Bug Fixes
#### Docker Build Issues
- **Fixed Helm installation in Dockerfile**: Switched from manual Helm download to Alpine package manager installation
- Previously attempted multiple manual installation methods that failed due to DNS resolution issues with `get.helm.sh`
- Alpine's `apk add helm` provides reliable installation across all architectures (amd64, arm64)
- Helm v3.16.3 now installed successfully in Docker container
- **Added OpenSSL dependency**: Added `openssl` to Alpine package installation for future compatibility
- **Verified multi-platform builds**: Confirmed working Docker builds for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64
### Technical Details
#### Docker Build Process
- **Before**: Manual Helm download from GitHub releases or get-helm-3 script
- Failed with DNS resolution errors: "Could not resolve host: get.helm.sh"
- GitHub releases returned 404 errors for expected download URLs
- **After**: Alpine package manager installation
- Simple `apk add --no-cache helm` command
- Reliable across all supported architectures
- Automatically handles dependencies and permissions
#### Local Testing
- Implemented local Docker build testing with `docker build -t arc-config-test .`
- Verified Helm v3.16.3 and kubectl v1.34.1 installations
- Confirmed multi-stage build process completes successfully
### Deployment
- All core MCP functionality remains unchanged
- Docker images now build successfully in GitHub Actions
- Ready for automated release pipeline
### Dependencies
- **Helm**: v3.16.3 (via Alpine packages)
- **kubectl**: v1.34.1 (latest stable)
- **Node.js**: 18-alpine base image
- **Alpine Linux**: v3.21 with required CLI tools
